Hi!

I was just browsing my Morrowind DVD - t is Polish edition, it also has all resources unpacked on the DVD, including these form expansions. So I navigated to Data Files\BookArt foler and found daedric_runes.ttf and opened it. What have I found there? Standard Daedric runes, Arenda, Daggerfall, Battlespire, REdguard adn Morrowind black&white logos, but also... Argonia logo! O_o

Here's the screenshot:

What do you think about it? Share your thoughts!

awesome find! maybe they were planning TES after morrowind to be black marsh?

either way it shows they've atleast considered setting a game there.

Interesting find indeed

I'll try to decypher that letters below it

I have an interesting theory...

I've installed that font in C:\Widnows\font and launched OpenOffice Writer, then selected that font and found the logos under numbers, Argonia is 0. Here's larger screen:

Done the same, but still some chars are just hard to see

It looks like we have to do a hunting for the ancient text In-Game!


HEYA HEYA!! Ride forth my minions!

My attempt, 4 last letter are lacking but still looks gibberish

Cthulhu summoning ritual or what?

Is this the 'Eye of Argonia' thing?

I believe the writing (if Minamir's expansion is correct) says:

"And a Herm from Haermt will save them."*

Haermt is obviously a place that was never implemented. I recognise the word "Herm" from something but all I can think of are the Hernes from Battlespire, and the word doesn't come up on a search of UESPWiki so either I'm thinking of something from somewhere else or it's something to do with Hermaeus Mora.

*I guessed on some of those letters, but they're at least close.

Then this could make http://www.gamespot.com/forums/topic/24996643/secret-argonian-city a reality could it not?

The last post in that thread is someone that says they found it... I think this is all worth a look into.

The secret Argonian city is nothing more than a hoax. We have the Construction Set, we can check out all the places in the game. If it really existed it would have been common knowledge for years now.

It's interesting that Beth was planning Argonia. But it may have something to do with the "Eye of Argonia" which was supposed to be a sequel to Redguard, but got canceled because Redguard wasn't succesful enough.

i love finding things like this.

did you know there's 2 faces on the nixhound texture? pulling some strange facials.

Wow. Cant believe nobody found this.

[epic facepalm on behalf of fans of the elderscrolls]

Hermit? A single main characer like in Redguard the game, an Argonian hermit perhaps? I don't think it has anything to do with hermeneutics philosophy nor Telvanni Hermitages in Morrowind. "A Herm" might also be a nationality. Like he is a Herm because he's from Haermt or something. Or that he is part of a Hermaeus Mora cult or some other worshipper. Oh well, endless chances. It's supposed to be a riddle, and we are likely never getting the tools to solve it.

Lol, forget that. The word is "A Hero".

"AND A HERO FROM HAEROT WILL SAVE THEM", in my opinion. Still no UESP hits for Haerot, though. Somebody up for leafing through their Black Marsh maps?

The real answer is http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Tribunal:Easter_Eggs. There you go

Oooh, good call, that does look like an oht. I still think Haerot is a place that only would've been implemented in that game if they'd gotten around to it, so I doubt leafing through anything is going to help. Shame...

I believe that font actually pre-dated the release of Morrowind, and was made by a fan (Adam Pyle, AKA Scribe of Black Marsh). Exactly why they chose to include it with the game I don't know, but it does mean the Argonia logo may not be official. Probably not in fact, I'd say.
